After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 465: You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.
Originally there were some of his people in the court, together with the prince's old party who were controlled by the magic powder. Now only the emperor has passed away, and the throne can only be his.
The people in the Imperial Hospital worked tirelessly for three days, and the emperor finally woke up.
His mouth is crooked and he can't speak clearly.
When Lu Lingye saw the emperor wake up, although he was a little disappointed, he still pretended to be happy and came forward, "Father, you are awake. God bless the Great Zhou."
The emperor looked at him with cloudy eyes, and his cheek muscles were stiff, making it difficult for him to speak.
The Queen pretended to cry and wiped her tears, but she was actually secretly observing the Emperor.
"Yes, may the Bodhisattva bless me, it is worth my sincere worship every day."
The emperor opened his mouth, and Doctor Pang hurried forward to check, then took out a silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point behind the emperor's ear.
After a moment, the emperor felt the muscles in his cheeks relax.
He looked at Doctor Pang and asked, "When will I be cured?"
Can it be cured?
How can it be good?
Doctor Pang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is very busy and overworked. The disease in his body is very severe and he needs to recuperate slowly."
"You mean I won't be well anytime soon?"
The emperor's eyes were sinister and his tone was murderous. The other doctors quickly lowered their heads, their hands trembling slightly.
Doctor Pang did not answer, but only said: "Your Majesty, for a stroke, you need to be calm and not get angry."
The emperor looked down at his bent fingers, his face a little flustered. He had seen several old princes in the royal family suffer from stroke, and there was no possibility of a cure.
"If you can't even cure a stroke, what use do I have to you!" He shouted angrily, "I will only give you seven days. If you can't cure me, I will kill all your clans!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
The imperial doctors were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
If for no other reason, just for the sake of his wife and children at home, Doctor Pang had no choice but to agree, "I will do my best."
Seeing this, Lu Lingye rolled his eyes and said, "Father, the border issue has not been resolved yet. I beg you to issue an order to order the Duke of Zhenguo to sign the peace treaty so that the border can be stabilized as soon as possible."
After hearing what Lu Lingye said, the emperor's eyes flashed with hesitation, and after a while he slowly spoke: "Let Minister Liang draft the imperial edict, and you go to the border again."
Lu Lingye got what he wanted and immediately turned around to find Liang Wenchang.
The emperor sent the queen away, "Go back to your own palace. We don't need your service here anymore."
"Yes."
The means that the queen had prepared have not been used yet. Now that the emperor has woken up, she dare not use any means in front of the emperor.
The emperor dismissed the imperial physician as well. When he and Eunuch Li were the only ones left in the palace, the emperor asked, "Has the Third Master done anything in the past few days?"
Eunuch Li shook his head and said, "Prince Rui has been guarding your bedside for the past three days and has never left your side."
The emperor frowned, "Did you really not leave for a moment?"
He propped himself up with his arms and tried to get up, but found that his hands and feet were somewhat out of control.
Eunuch Li hurriedly helped him up and stuffed a cushion behind him.
The emperor leaned back on the cushion, frowning in thought.
In the past, he thought he could live to be old, but the sudden illness caught him off guard.
Now he only has the third oldest child among his children, the others are still young and cannot amount to anything.
"Send someone to check and see if my illness was caused intentionally."
The dirty tricks in the palace are endless, and the emperor always feels that his illness is too strange. "Also, send someone to keep an eye on the third brother and the queen."
Eunuch Li responded respectfully and immediately called the secret guard and ordered him to investigate.
On the other side, Lu Lingye received the imperial edict and rushed to the border at full speed.
When the Duke of Zhenguo learned that he was coming again, he refused to meet him.
Lu Lingye stood in the military camp with the imperial edict in his hand and shouted loudly: "Duke Zhenguo, come and receive the edict quickly!"
"Dad, as long as we don't go out, he can't do anything to us."
Lu Zhen stood in the corner of the tent, his eyes fell on the bright yellow in Lu Lingye's hand. He curled his lips and looked disdainful.
"What do you think they are so eager to sell out their country for? Doesn't the Great Zhou belong to the Lu royal family? They even agreed to such a humiliating treaty. They want to save the royal family's face!"
"A bunch of rotten hearts and livers!"
The Lu family boss behind him couldn't help but curse.
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
The Duke of Zhenguo walked out.
When Lu Lingye saw him, he didn't look happy either, "The Duke of Zhenguo is really a busy man."
"The border is not as stable as the capital. All matters, big and small, need to be handled personally by this old minister."
The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to be unable to hear his strange tone, and instead looked solemn. "The court has not allocated food and grass for two years, and this old minister has to run around every day for food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops. So far this year, the court has not even allocated military pay, so how can this old minister care about other things?"
The emperor deliberately delayed the allocation of military pay, and Lu Lingye knew this. At this moment, he was speechless and said coldly: "Duke Zhenguo, you should accept the order first."
The Duke of Zhenguo knelt on the ground, and Lu Lingye read the imperial edict loudly.
After hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo said coldly, "I'm sorry that I can't obey such a humiliating treaty."
Lu Lingye's face darkened, "Duke Zhenguo, this is the order of our father, do you dare to disobey it?!"
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at him calmly and said, "We would rather die than be humiliated like this. Prince Rui, just go back to the capital and report."
Lu Lingye snorted coldly, "Duke Zhenguo, disobeying an imperial order is a capital crime."
The Duke of Zhenguo stood up, showing no fear, "Prince Rui, my family is full of loyal and brave men who have fought for the Great Zhou for many years. Even if we die, we will never sign such a treaty that humiliates our country!"
Lu Lingye narrowed his eyes and said, "Disobeying the imperial order is a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine clans. Aren't you afraid of implicating your family?"
The Duke of Zhenguo laughed, "All of my Lu family members are loyal and righteous, and will definitely not succumb to your injustice."
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude! Someone, come here!" Lu Lingye shouted, "The Duke of Zhenguo disobeyed my order, arrest him!"
Lu Zhen strode out from behind the tent. He stared at Lu Lingye coldly, "Just sign the peace agreement. Why do you have to ask my father to sign it? What on earth are you thinking?!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard.
When everyone looked, they saw a group of people galloping towards them.
After the leading Prime Minister Xiao dismounted, he said loudly: "The Duke of Zhenguo is devoted to the country, and Your Majesty is well aware of this. This time he came here to renegotiate the terms of the peace treaty."
Lu Lingye frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
Didn’t the emperor ask him to handle this matter? Why did he suddenly ask Prime Minister Xiao to come here?
"Prime Minister Xiao, why did the Emperor suddenly ask you to come here?"
He couldn't help but worry that something unfavorable to him might happen in the capital.
"Haha, the emperor was afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo could not handle the barbarian envoys alone, so he ordered me to help." After Xiao Xiang finished speaking, he looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with a smile, "Your granddaughter is here too, she is outside the military camp."
